I’m one of those weirdos that actually really enjoys cleaning my guns. It’s sort of cathartic for me. Very stress purging. I’ll grab a good strong cup of coffee. Put on some music that I like and clean and lube away. I like to make absolute sure that my EDC especially is always clean, lubed and in top operational condition at all times. Even if I haven’t fired my EDC in a month, I’ll field strip it, wipe it down clean and dry, run the snake through the barrel a few times, inspect everything including the optic then re-lube the gun. Why do I do that? Because I’m a weirdo. 🤷🏼♂️

Great information presented well, thank you! The only caution I would add is when using gun scrubber type sprays is that like you said, it removes all oil and other lubricants leaving a very clean and dry surface that is very prone to rusting if not promptly re-oiled. Using a brake or carburetor cleaner will do the same thing. This of course applies to the steel parts only. Again, use with caution! Follow the owner's manual when it comes to cleaning and lubricating. One experience - A friend cleaned his Remington 1100 Skeet gun with a gun scrubber spray because someone told him the carbon and plastic wad build-up would just wash away. They were correct, but he neglected to re-oil it. When he opened his gun case a few days later, his M1100 was all orange with flash rust inside and out. Fortunately, we were able to clean it up enough to be functional, but it never looked the same. Thanks again for posting. Cheers!

Because carbon buildup/fouling doesn't affect the reliability of most modern handguns. There are some exceptions with finicky 2011s and such, but if you're just carrying/using a striker fired pistol, you do not need to clean it. That being said, I still clean/oil my carry gun somewhat regularly. I do not clean my training guns anymore though as it's generally a waste of time and their reliability has not been affected.

I haven't found that cleaning improves reliability in modern handguns, and I think most competitive shooters going through high round counts would agree with me. That being said, I do keep my carry gun clean(ish) and oiled just for emotional reassurance. AR platforms do benefit from having the bolt wiped off with an oiled rag every session, though.

When there IS a manual that is. I don't have big collection, but I've only purchased 2 of them new, so they are the ones that came with manuals. The rest were inherited and purchased used without manuals. I do wish they would have given a general reference about where and how much to lube for those without manuals. But I'm pretty mechanically inclined, so I have a pretty good idea what parts move against each other and where to lube, and the references in the manuals that I do have also apply to my other similar guns.

Sometimes I will use a gun multiple times a year, sometimes I will use a gun once every two years. So I will clean every gun after use. I will inspect everything in my safe at least once a year. The pocket carry, that gets field stripped once a month even if not shot. Lint and sweat can get inside the gun, past the pocket holster.

"How much oil and where?", Thanks for the smarmy and condescending answer there. Many of us can't always afford to buy new, and many of us LIKE to buy used because what we're buying isn't made anymore. I guess that you might not know this, but most times a used gun doesn't have the manual with it. Many new shooters don't want to invest in a new gun, and so buy used, again with no manual. People are probably watching this for knowledge, not to be talked down to. Your attitude is what's wrong with a LOT of "Old Hands" in the gun world. Judging by your appearance, I've probably been shooting longer than you've been walking upright, and I've never talked to a new shooter like that.
